Gunasekaran's Trip to Jaipur

4 /5

(Written on 24 Mar, 2025)

What's Good: Sanjay and Jitendar are very accommodate to change in schedule eventhough we have added couple of changes on the road. The helped in arranging guide, who is very helpful and very i (Read More)nformative in explaining,navigating various tourist attractions in Jaipur, especially,The Amber fort, The City Palace, Jantar Mantar and Nahagarh fort. The driver is always show up on time at hotel, where we stayed. Helpful in parking and stopping busy traffic to get down and up. In general, we had pleasant time at Jaiput for the past few days. Thanks to Sanjay!
What's Not Good: First thing that came to mind, they should have offered water in the van whenever we're back from the tourist attractions. With so hot and felling thirsty then we ran out of water. It is really horrible experience. We need to stop on the way to get water to refill. Suggest to have a cooler and provide cool water upon returning. This is we found little odd. Even in Varanasi the tourist operator always ask to drink water and it is always available. This is something they need to consider as an offer to customer for the price we are paying. The selection of on-road restaurants and shopping should be more informative that suits to the customer need. Expect to provide suggestion on good shopping at Jaipur based on customer preference. We need to research and ask them to take that place,like, famous bazaar,mall for food/arts/ethinic clothing. Hope the feedback are based what we observed and if the above were met then our experience would've been exceptional.
